Nothing like seeing dimples/ripples in the water and hearing the report of a deck gun to get your attention ...

Fox just said it could be a Coast Guard exercise.

If so, it has to compete with the AF1 buzzing of NYC as the stupidest military exercise ever. On 9/11 in DC??? Sheesh. At least they could have fired 21 times instead of 10 so they could pawn it off as a salute.

Nah, Tonk's boys aren't that stupid.

Doubt it--

CNN reporting now-via Drudge:

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The U.S. Coast Guard tried Friday to prevent a boat from entering a security zone on the Potomac River not far from the Pentagon, where President Obama was at an event commemorating the September 11 attacks.

There were reports on police scanners that the Coast Guard fired 10 rounds of ammunition, but those reports could not immediately be confirmed. It was not immediately clear from the reports whether they referred to warning shots.

The incident took place between the Memorial and 14th Street bridges, in a zone that had been blocked off because of the ceremonies.

Obama had departed the Pentagon shortly after 10 a.m. ET. Reports of the incident came in shortly after 10 a.m. ET.

The Coast Guard Command Center said it had no immediate information.

Live rounds during an 9/11 memorial with the President present? I don't think so. Or really, really bad judgment.

Fox News says the FBI is reporting “something happened”. There is a second report that it might be a “training exercise”. WTF?

The Coast Guard is now claiming it was a “training exercise.”

Oh, yeah. I’m SURE it’s a training exercise in the middle of DC on the Potomac River, on 9/11! Do these people think we’re complete idiots or what???

Has a gubermint spokesperson come out with the “It’s not terrorism” line yet? I thought that was SOP.

As is it SOP for there to be lots of mocking posts and premature conclusions here, before anything at all can possibly be "known".

Probably it was a boat with a pro-life sign.
